Reclaim Literacy

As a community-based not-for-profit and registered charity, RECLAIM provides free and confidential literacy services to the English-speaking population of greater Montreal. Using trained volunteers, the organization focuses on providing tutoring services tailored to individual learners' needs in an understanding and supportive environment. Started in 1980, RECLAIM was established in Montreal primarily to accommodate adult literacy students who could not attend classes due to ill-health, child care considerations, work schedule difficulties or other factors. By the fall of 1991, RECLAIM had opened its Learning Centre, which enables adult learners to acquire and upgrade their literacy skills in small groups. The Centre also offers learners the opportunity to use technology in support of their learning goals. Our Centre is located in the St. Henri district of Montreal. RECLAIM continues today to build on its tradition of providing unique learning opportunities. Its programs have continued to evolve in order to meet the changing needs of today’s society. Assisted by its invaluable network of volunteer tutors over the years, RECLAIM is proud to have celebrated 30 plus years of helping adult learners achieve their literacy goals.
